evo-pdf-content-extraction

evo-pdf-content-extraction is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OpenLAIR/OpenSkill. It costs 48 tokens per session (318 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A PDF analysis utility that extracts text and locations of words, then finds information that could reveal who wrote an academic paper. It identifies names, affiliations, email addresses, arXiv identifiers, and venue or conference statements for redaction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to produce exact text, regular expressions, and link patterns to remove from academic PDFs before submission.
Why use it?
It helps prepare papers for anonymous review by finding author-identifying content that may be scattered through the PDF.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

evo-pdf-content-extraction scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/extraction.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

evo-pdf-content-extraction

Extracts text from academic PDFs and identifies all content that could reveal authorship for anonymization purposes.

Key Functions

  • extract_page_text(page) - Get plain text from a page
  • extract_words_with_positions(page) - Get words with bounding box coordinates
  • identify_author_block_region(page) - Find the author block area on first page
  • detect_arxiv_identifiers(text) - Find arXiv IDs in text
  • detect_email_addresses(text) - Find email addresses
  • detect_affiliations(text) - Find institutional affiliations
  • detect_venue_statements(text) - Find venue/conference acceptance statements
  • get_all_redaction_targets(pdf_path) - Main function: analyze a PDF and return all strings to redact

Usage

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/app/environment/skills/evo-pdf-content-extraction/scripts')
from extraction import get_all_redaction_targets

targets = get_all_redaction_targets('/root/paper1.pdf')
print(targets['exact_strings'])  # List of exact strings to redact
print(targets['regex_patterns'])  # List of regex patterns to apply
print(targets['link_patterns'])   # URL patterns to scrub
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
